SCAM!!!!! Same post over on Home Shop Machinist with different name...
Not that it isn't a good cause or nothing but is this allowed here? GoFundMe's?

Gofund me requests should be run by mods and posted by mods only imo.
I tend to agree. Sorry for the Op's loss but he only joined two months ago, so I doubt this is going to be that well received. Long time members here have passed and no one took up a collection.
Maybe I have no empathy, but strangers panhandling on an internet forum rubs me absolutely the wrong way.
I could see it if someone known to them took up a collection to help RJ's wife or something similar if she was in a bad spot. I am sure many of us who never met him or spoke with him felt like we knew him. I have a few customers here, met three members in person, and spoke with a few others on the phone in 15 years. I seriously doubt the OP has much of a connection here in 2 months and would be considered a stranger.
I did a leetle googling, and can't find any obit.
GoflockMe page is very, very vague.
Not linking an obituary and or funeral announcement definitely makes one question things.
Not finding an obit or announcement means diddly. Many folks pass without so much as a mention.
Lots of people have medical bills and other financial burdens(divorce for example).
Which is why this whole thing of asking for money on web is a sticky wicket on a slippery slope.
That's exactly the problem. You want proof and his story could very well be true without there being any proof (that you can find).
